Summary
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $526.6 million on October 19, their strongest day since September 22, according to BeInCrypto, which drew on SoSoValue data. The flows were concentrated: only one of the 12 spot Bitcoin funds posted a net gain. BlackRock's IBIT alone took in $665.2 million, while Fidelity's FBTC lost $83.6 million, per Crypto Briefing. The single-day inflow reduced October's cumulative net outflow from $617.17 million to about $90.57 million.

The same session showed weakness elsewhere in digital-asset products. Ether funds lost $103.28 million, and Solana products shed $6.72 million, according to BeInCrypto. Market data cited in the coverage placed Bitcoin at $84,610 on CoinMarketCap, a daily gain of 2.32%, and SOL at $106.81, up 2.26%. Bitcoin remains roughly 34% below its record high of $126,198.07 set on October 6, 2025.

The primary source is a press release published on openPR promoting Pepeto, a meme token presale. It makes unverified claims about bridge fees, presale progress above $11.2 million, and a speculative 1000x multiple, none of which are independently confirmed. The release also contains promotional calls to action. Readers should treat its investment claims as marketing rather than reporting, and the ETF flow figures as the only substantive, independently attributed data in the piece.
